Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture For example, by genetically engineered（GE） foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increasedImproved taste, shelf life, and better transport are all possibleAlso, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns Unlike Europe, in the United States labeling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods The public is also concerned about the unknown health risksWith limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effectsBecause most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions Moreover, due to the lack of labeling if allergies develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them There is also a major moral question in many mindsFor many, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessaryWe are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starvingGE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing itWe already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk43According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering in that _Atraditional breeding changes the genes in the same speciesBtraditional breeding changes the genes in different speciesCtraditional breeding takes place within the same speciesDtraditional breeding is more scientific44The lack of labeling in Paragraph 4 indicates Ainformation concerning gene sources is unavailable to customersBit is currently possible to find the origins of some allergiesCscientists try to hide potential dangers from customersDthe US government is responsible for GE food45According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because Ait wont help solve the problem of hunger in the world Bthere are potential dangers in producing GE food Cwere now producing more food than before Dcustomers will benefit from GE food46What is the authors attitude towards genetic engineering? AWelcoming BDisapproving CUnconcerned DOptimistic四、任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。4 Reasons Why Fad (风靡一时的) Diets are Bad for YouA quick weight loss program sounds like a good idea at the time, but youll soon discover that fad diets can be more dangerous to your health than beneficial to it. Here are four reasons why fad diets are bad for you, plus get tips on how to create a diet plan that helps you lose the extra pounds safelyand keep them off.1. Youll Wind Up Feeling Dehydrated (脱水的)Most of the weight you drop when you lose weight too quickly tends to be water weight, which can lead to rapid dehydration. Your body burns calories and excess weight in stages, and if you force your body to lose weight faster than it naturally wants to, you can cause serious health problems for yourself.Tip: When trying to lose weight, remind yourself that water is your friend. To keep from overeating and to stay properly hydrated, drink one to two glasses before a meal. Also, if you exercise daily, be sure to increase your water intake in order to counteract the water lost from sweating while working out.2. Youll Get Tired QuicklyFad diets involve depriving (剥夺) yourself of calories, however, calories are what translate into the energy your body needs to get through the day. If you fast or eat less than what your body requires in order to lose weight too quickly, youll find yourself feeling fatigued for most of the day. Tip: Eat smaller meals throughout the day. This will help to boost your metabolism, and can provide you with more energy to help you lose weight in a healthy manner.3. You Can Get Serious Digestive ProblemsIn actual fact, losing weight too quickly can lead to severe diarrhea, to be followed later by constipation. As with losing water weight, having diarrhea over an extended period of time can lead to dehydrationa condition that can be life-threatening.Tip: Ensure that you have a diet which is rich in fibre.4. Youll Suffer from Malnutrition (营养不良)Crash diets and fasting are dangerous because they restrict (限制) you from consuming fats and carbs, but theyre also unsafe since they prevent your body from getting the vitamins and minerals it needs. If you restrict your body from its normal caloric intake over a long period of time, your body will be deprived of important nutrients and youll become malnourished.Tip: A healthy, well-balanced diet is the key to proper weight loss. Talk to your doctor about dietary supplements (补充物) if you are concerned about the amount of nutrients youre getting.Title: 4 Reasons Why Fad Diets are Bad for YouIntroduction: (51) _ a quick weight loss program sounds like a good program, fad diets will cause damage to your health.ReasonsTips1.Youll Wind Up Feeling DehydratedThe (52) _ of the weight you drop quickly tends to be water weight, leading to rapid dehydration.If your body is (53) _ to lose weight unnaturally, you will have serious health problems.To avoid overeating and to stay properly hydrated, drink one to two glasses of water before a meal.
